Massena
The Eleventh Hour Shiraz
2006 vintage. In remarkably good shape, considering its age. Dark, rich fruits and showing lots of earthy, tertiary notes. Baked blackberry and blueberry, black plum, stale sandalwood, stale cigar box, seemingly Brett-influenced barnyard earthiness (though not in an overwhelming sense), loam or potting soil, dried tarragon. Lots going on, though seems like it has peaked and should be drank soon.
